  Hi –
  I have tried everything from re-creating the pages to importing text from word, but I have half my pages in a sans serif (arial or genoeva I think) and the other half in Times New Roman. I want everything sans serif … ie the same font as on the homepage.
  Please help me fix this!!! Either tell me how to fix it, or just reset all the font to arial (or whatever it is.
  Thanks so much-
  Elinor

  Hi Elinor, would you mind providing a link to one or two pages that are displaying your text in Times New Roman? I wasn’t able to find any while visiting all the pages from your main menu. Once I can take a look, I’ll be glad to investigate further.

  Or are you referring to the text in the right-hand sidebar, as you can see in this screenshot? http://cl.ly/image/0G0i452H0g1H

  Hi Kathryn –
  Thanks so much for your speedy reply. Shortly after contacting you for help I figured out how to copy a page and set the template for a new one. I did that and then was able to cut and paste the info from the old page and it came into the new “copy” in the right font. Sorry for wasting you time. I’m all good now with font, but do wonder why the Personal Memorials page has it’s text indented to the right unlike any of the other pages. (This was one of the “copies” I made to deal with the font issue).
  Regards-
  Elinor

  Hi there – it looks like you have a lot of extra div tags surrounding the content on that page – for example:

  <div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="main">
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<div id="post-235">

  I suggest clicking the Text link in the editing window and removing all of those unnecessary tags, along with their matching closing tags. The indenting problem should go away.

  I also suggest removing all the extraneous code from this line on down, as it’s distorting the layout at the bottom and causing certain page elements to be repeated:

  <div id="jp-post-flair">

  If you need any help cleaning up the code on this page, just let me know.
